WRCH Allison Demers One Step Closer to Regis Co-Host Seat

Allison Demers is on her way to a national tv co-host seat but needs your help.

The so sweet WRCH 100.5 FM morning show co-host (aka Mrs. Campagna), pictured with co-worker Joan Dylan, has made the semi-finalist cut for a guest co-host spot on the "Live with Regis and Kelly" morning show. Four winners will each co-host with Regis Philbin when Kelly Ripa goes on vacation in late August.

"I can't believe it," said Demers who officially found out Tuesday at 3 p.m. but was sort of tipped off last week when staff from the morning tv talk show called the station last week asking for her cell phone number. "Everyone has been so supportive since I was nominated for the contest," said Demers. "I'm just not worthy."

Demers is one of 100 female radio show personalities now in the running to do a stint on the popular syndicated show that airs here on ABC and is filmed in New York City. By the way, there were 100,00 entries according to a show spokesperson!

Based on comments ot its Facebook page over the next two weeks, and a video to be submitted by each of the semi-finalists, the show will narrow the field down to 10 finalists and then to final four who will each do a day on the show.

So do you want to help? You want to get Connecticut's only contest semi-finalist into the co-host seat on the tv show? Go to the contest website, find Demers name on the list , and post your supportive comments on its Facebook page.

By the way, it was Demers co-host, Allan Camp, who originally nominated her for the Regis show and then got things going on the WRCH website.

"Funny, when Kelly started doing the show with Regis, Allan said to me 'you would be so good at that,'"said Demers, best known for her family-style approach to her show. "From his lips to God's ear."

P.S. There was another former, popular Connecticut radio personality who was part of the contest but didn't quite make the semi-finals, WTIC 96.5 FM celeb, Jeannine Jersey. There is always next year for Jersey who now calls Birmingham home!
